About us
Founded in 2024, Stabat Mater Press is a family-owned traditional Catholic publishing house dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the Church’s intellectual and spiritual patrimony. We publish books rooted in the traditional Faith: works on the interior life, Church history, hagiography, and Catholic political thought—books that nourish the soul and sharpen the mind.
Alongside original manuscripts, we also carefully restore older texts, giving them new life with thoughtful updates that preserve their substance while making them more accessible to today’s reader. Many of these had fallen into obscurity, and we consider it a privilege to bring them back into print for new generations.
As a family-owned publishing house, we take seriously the idea that Catholic books should be made by Catholics and for Catholics—those formed by the Faith, obedient to the Church, and committed to tradition.
Our Editorial Stance
This press exists because the modern Catholic world has—for all its talk of continuity—effectively buried a thousand years of its own voice. The old books, the old devotions, the old clarity of thought have not been refuted; they have simply been left to rot in attic boxes and mildew-stained libraries. We intend to bring them back.
We hold fast to the See of Peter and profess what the Church has always taught. But let it be said plainly: the Church did not begin in 1965. We love the Latin Mass not out of nostalgia, but because it formed saints and sustained civilization. We republish forgotten works that aim to arm the Catholic mind against modernity, not “dialogue” with it. The faith we represent is Catholicism as it was lived and understood for two millennia. We are not interested in accommodating the spirit of the age. We are here to outlast it.
Our Current Presence on Amazon
For now, we are working exclusively with Amazon to fulfill orders. As a new publishing house, it is most convenient for us to fulfill our orders solely through Amazon at this time. We are currently planning a migration of the entirety of the catalogue to the Stabat Mater Press website in the near future.
Because of this, anytime you click on “order now” from our website, you will be directed to our Amazon listing. Thank you for your patience and your support!
Christus Vincit! Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!
Manuscript Submissions
We welcome manuscripts that align with the spirit and mission of this press: works that uphold the perennial teachings of the Church, that speak from within the tradition rather than standing above it, and that reject the false comforts of modernity in favor of truth spoken plainly.
We are especially interested in texts that deal with the interior life, the history of the Church and her saints, pre-conciliar theology, Catholic political thought, and cultural or devotional works that deserve resurrection. Polemical writing is welcome, provided it is lucid, charitable, and uncompromising in doctrine.
We accept both original manuscripts and carefully edited historical works now in the public domain. If your work is suited to our catalog, we will treat it with the same seriousness with which we treat our own.
To submit, send a brief description of your work, a table of contents, and the full manuscript to stabatmaterpress@gmail.com.
We do not publish works that promote novelty, pluralism, or compromise.
